Panipuri

I have never had Panipuri, over the holidays my friend invited us to her place and her mom prepared Panipuri for us.

These are the ingredients - Pani (the fried puff dough), mung beans,chick peas, onions, potatoes, chutney, and tamarind sauce.

Served on a plate with a hot steaming cup of Chai.

Break a little hole in the pani and put in all the ingredients, flood it or dunk it in the Puri (Masala water) and pop the whole thing into your mouth! Who would've thought such simple ingredients would create such a fireworks of flavours in your mouth! Sweetness from the tamarind chutney, sourness from the Puri, a hint of freshness from the Coriander chutney, and full of satisfying textures from the stuffings of the Pani.

It was really good, try it if you can. After the 'appetizer' we were served another full round of meal and dessert! Yummers!
